AN: This is for alyssanm who requested some Morgana and Gwen friendship and while it mightn't be what you were exactly looking for, I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Set in series 2.
Morgana was bored. So unbelievably, totally, utterly, mind-numbingly bored. She'd already fought with Arthur three times, rigged a booby trap in his bedroom and argued with Uther for no real reason whatsoever. It was raining which meant she couldn't go outside or ride her horse and the other ladies her age bored her so now she had nothing to do. Morgana lay back on her bed and punched her pillow slightly before shifting restlessly on her bed. Morgana sighed, sat up and threw the pillow across the room. The pillow hit Gwen in the chest as she walked into the room with a basket in her hands.
"Sorry," Morgana apologised but was secretly impressed with her shot. Gwen set down the basket and picked up the pillow to set back onto the bed. As she stood at the bed, the impulse came over her and Gwen shifted her hold on the pillow until she was holding one end with both her hands. Before she could stop herself, Gwen sent the pillow crashing down onto Morgana's head.
Morgana let out a laugh as she looked at her friend. "Gwen did you just hit me on the head with a pillow?"
Gwen tried to look innocent and for once failed in the attempt. "Sorry," Gwen admitted through a laugh and Morgana smiled as she grabbed another pillow.
"You will be!" Morgana claimed as she hit Gwen with her own pillow. Morgana's boredom was forgotten as the two women reverted to childhood as they ran around Morgana's room attacking the other with a pillow. Morgana was more precise and faster with her attacks but Gwen had a brother. She could wield a pillow like a sword. Their laughter and occasional shriek at a surprise attack echoed around the room until the door opened and Merlin and Arthur appeared.
"What are you doing?" Arthur asked as Gwen and Morgana looked at one another, nodded and charged towards the men. Being the two brave men that they were, Arthur and Merlin promptly ran for their lives but not before Morgana threw her pillow and hit Merlin in the back of the head. As Morgana picked up her pillow Gwen used it to her advantage and hit her on the head and back before running back to Morgana's room and shutting the door behind her. Morgana laughed as she knocked on the door.
"Ok, ok, I call a truce just open the door and let me in." Morgana pleaded, aware that she must look a right mess which wouldn't do if Uther seen her. There was a pause before the door opened a crack and Morgana ran through, prompting hitting Gwen in the face with her pillow. As they continued hitting each other with pillows there was an ominous ripping sound before both pillows split open and feathers spurted out around them. As they looked at the feather-strewn floor, the furniture that had been scattered by their running around and the other's creased clothing and ruffled hair all they could do was sink to the floor and laugh their heads off. As they managed to calm themselves down, Morgana smiled at Gwen.
"We're best friends aren't we Gwen?" Morgana asked and Gwen nodded.
"Of course we are." Gwen replied, they had been since they were young girls, you didn't spend all day every day with someone and not grow to like them.
"And we always will be, won't we." Morgana asked. Gwen smiled and took Morgana's hand, linking the little finger on Morgana's right hand around her own. This was their way of sealing promises and agreements, it had always been a way of binding agreements to ensure they wouldn't be broken.
"Forever," Gwen replied.
